Challenge B4: Popularity

In this game, you will be tested on how much you like others, how much others like you, and also how much you love yourself more than the rest.

You must rate each of the remaining players from a 1 to a 10, 10 being the highest. Sounds easy? Think again.

Every time you give someone a rating of 1, you score 10 points against yourself. If you rate someone a 2, you score 9 points against yourself. If you rate someone a 3, 8 points against yourself and so on … If you rate someone a 10, you only score 1 point against yourself.

At the end, the rating the other players rated you will play hand-in-hand with the number of points against you.

I know it sounds confusing, so here is an example with 4 people, hopefully it will be clear.

Now, the number of points that each received against themselves is subtracted from 30. (Don’t ask why, please, if you really want to know, I’ll explain later, but there is logic to it.)
A: 30-16=14
B: 30-14=16
C: 30-11=19
D: 30-15=15

This number is then averaged with the rating that others gave you to find your total rating.

A: 25 and 14 = Average of 19.5
B: 25 and 16 = Average of 20.5
C: 6 and 19 = Average of 12.5
D: 20 and 15 = Average of 17.5
In this situation, Person B would win.

Analysis:
As you can see, before the averaging of the points, both Person A and B had a rating of 25. Once you average in the points against yourself, Person B wins by a margin because B was more generous in the points giving to others than A, so obviously, he was the “better person” so he wins the challenge. Person C had a horrible rating from others however his final score was more than doubled because he was so nice and generous in giving the others a good rating. Person D had an OK rating from the others, but he wasn’t the nicest person in giving others a high rating, so that brought him down a little bit. This challenge will make you think. If you’re nice to others, you’re just giving them a higher rating to work with, yet you’re not scoring much against yourself, which is a plus. If you rate others considerably low, those people will have a lower rating, yet that will bring you down too because you will have a higher score against you. If you think no one likes you, I suggest you give others a high rating to score a small pointage against yourself.

I hope this isn’t too confusing.

Deadline: 72hours @ 10PM EST November 2. Good luck.

As a request from lopevian, here is their composition from last challenge:

Feeling hungry, I asked a local named Shii Ann where I may get a bite to eat. She was wearing Old Navy jeans and eating an apple. She recommended Burger King or Kentucky Fried Chicken. I asked her if she had been crying. She told me her ankle took a twist, bit it would heal. I offered her a Kleenex. She drove me to KFC in her General Motors car. En route, she hit a pole near the local IKEA. I had grave suspicions about her driving skills.
After lunch, I went looking for a stoolie that hung out at the shooting range. They called him "Bullets". He could hit any target. He was easy to find. He told me he'd meet me later in the Townsquare, give me a call on my Samsung phone when the time was right.
They found my dead body on Monday morning. My identity, to this day, has not been determined. I was grasping a shield, emblazoned with an "F"...a shield that quite obviously did not do it's job.
It was supposed to be a relaxing weekend getaway, but the town of Fortskill had other plans.
